Without this power in the people’s hands, we can and will be subjected to slavery at any time, : Hitler’s tactics have arisen here with Ronald Reagan’s attempt to set up a further degeneration of this society through slave-labor and concentration- camp schemes developing out of police state-ism, Those oppressive forces - the pig, fascist-racist brutalizing, murdering police and avaricious ruling elite - must lose power and the people gain and control the power, Community control of police with the people hir- ing and firing and maintaining control, with residential citizens of eachneigh- . borhood/community area elected.and hired from our very communities is relevant to a people’s revolutionary change which would be in direct oppo- sition to all slave-labor schemes, and in opposition to the present prisons, jails, and county farms developing into the concentration camps throughout the country, Otherwise, the next overt concentration camp apparatus will be in our communities themselves, ALL POWER TO THE PEOPLE Bobby Seale Chairman, Black Panther Party and Political Prisoner THE STATE OF NEVADA AND WELFARE MOTHERS To the State of Nevada and the welfare administrator, George Miller, take notice: You’ve made war on the poor by cutting them off welfare, you have taken the food off of the table and the coof from above the heads of little children; you have made illegai profits by cutving a basic minimun for decent living, by giving the poor and jobless checks for half their survival needs; you have judged people on wel- fare as subhuman because they could not find adequate jobs in your op- pressive society; you have alienated your own people and stripped them of their dignity; and you justify this op- pression in the name of protecting the money of the state, Your state claims that the welfare recipients cheated in declaring their NJ Nevada Welfare Mothers income; that they are guilty of fraud; that they are criminals, So blind are you that you would sacrifice the lives of children to your greed, by not gi- ving them fair hearings to defend themselves against your false charges, You have terminated 3,000 people from + the welfare roles, You have temporarily cut 4,500 of the poor, and today 900 families have no income, These things you have perpetrated on the poor with- > out due process of law, Nevada, you have cheated, your peo- ple, you have defrauded your, citizens, and you have committed crimes a- gainst the poor, Your maximum aid to a family of four has been $144 amonth, when the minimum standard of health and decency povertywlevel is $312 a month, And now you would deny the continued on page 5 PEOPLE’S FREE HEALTH CENTER AIDS IN CORRECTING CHILD’S EYESIGHT The Black Panther Party people’s Free Health Center in Boston has been functioning for almost a yedr now, serving the needs of the community with free medical care. On Friday, February 25, 4 community sister received a vi- tal operation made possib} the Free Health Center. Fourt month-old Stacey Burston re- ceived an eye operation to cor- rect her eye sight. Since birth, she has had a problem with the muscles in her eyeswhichare responsible for moving her eyes horizontally. .\t (August , 1970 ), Stacey was taken zo Boston Children’s Hospital to see a specialist who haphazardly examined her, eyes, and pre- scribed glasses, telling her pa- rents to return with her in six months, During that time Stacey’s eyes became worse and had turned farther inward. She had also be- gun to walk sideways and has to turn her head sideways to look at objects. Her parents were never informed that a series of simple operations could straigh- ten - out her eyes, On January 26, Stacey was brought to the Free Health Cen- ter for an examination and sub- sequently received an appoint- ment with an eye specialist who arranged the first operation. MERRITT COLLEGE STRIKES The students of Merritt College with the support of the community have again exemplified the Power of the People. Since March 15th, they have controlled the main campus buildings to demand that the Peralta Board (College Board of Trustees) refuses to turn this community college over to the community, to whom control of the college’s programs rightfully belongs. On March 16th, three of the Strike leaders were arrested, One of them was Doug Miranda, The following is a list of the demands; We want to restate and re- emphasize the original three de- mands that were passed by the Peralta Board on November 2, 1970: 1. Merritt should be keptopen and in full operation until such time as a new facility in the flatlands should be completed, ee That Merritt be under Community Control. 3. That Merritt campus, and any future campus in the flatlands, be funded from the Peralta District as a whole, age 6 months, NEW DEMANDS 1, Even though the pre-regis- tration was sabotaged in favor of the Hill campus the results clear- - a Center« Boston; Stacey will be able to gain her normal vision and to see as all other children do.

Full equipment. c. Full faculty and staff. To implement the above we de- mand: d, That all equipment current- ly in storage, in faculty's per- sonal possession, or on loan to individuals, which belongs to the Merritt campus, should be -returned to the campus, e. That an inventory be made of this equipment, and that the Peralta Board guarantee that this equipment will remain at Merritt. f. That the Peralta Board pre- sent a full curriculum and operation on the Hill campus. ( * 637 of the students signed up for Grove St., an aaministration memo shows plans for only 336 course sections on Grove and 359 on the Hill, \lso, the students didn’t decide course locations by pre-registering; the department heads had the final say.) 2. We demand complete aca- demic «and political amnesty for all striking students and faculty, as well as no financial victimi- zation for any participating stu- dents, faculty and non-academic personnel. We demand full credit for all courses for all students who are currently enrolled. 3. We demand complete auton- omy (political, financial and aca- demic) for all Third World studies departments. 4. No cops on campus! This means Oakland or Berkeley Pol- ice, \lameda County Sherriffs or undercover police. 5. We demand that the Peralta Board turn over facilities (money mailing lists, etc.) to the strike coulition to conduct the election of a Community Control Board, This board, to be composed of students, faculty and community people that are not students, will assume all decision making power about Merritt College as of July 1, 1971 as voted by the Peralta Board on November 2, 1970, 6, We demand that the name Merritt College remain with the Grove Street Campus until such time as the Community Control Board decides to change it. 7. We further demand that a full and «adequate budget for Merritt College on Grove Street for the fiscal year 1971-1972 be produced for approval by the Com- munity. ALL POWER TO THE PEOPLE THE BLACK PANTHER, SATURDAY, MARCH 20, 1971 PAGE 3 SEATTLE FAMILY TERRORIZED On the 18th. of February at 6:30 P.M. « unit of approximately 50 Seattle City pigs converged on the home of Mrs. Lila Mae Ed- wards at 2014 E, Fir Str: The pigs said they were lookiny for her 18 year old son, Alvin Ea- wards, as ispect in the shoot- ing of a pig early the same morn- ing. The pigs had the home tuder surveiliance for several sours Finally they knocked on tae door and ed for Alvin Edwards and said that they had a warrant for his arrest for BURGLARY, al- though that is not the same as a warrant .o search the house, Mrs. Edwards refused to open the door at first and finally cracked “the door toi de the warrant. \s Soon as Mrs, Edwards cracked the door, the pigs inmediately forced entry, knocking Mrs. Ed- wards back, up against the wall. They then grabbed Mrs. Edwards in the collar and said ‘‘We know he’s here, wher is he hi en Upon entry, with weapons drawn, the pigs immediately pegan to ransack the house on the pretense of looking for Alvia, who ws not there, and the murder weapon. \fter an unsuccessful search the so called pig in charge toldMrs. Edwards, ‘‘You better tell Al- vin to come down to the station when he gets home or they will kill him on sight when they see him.”’ After this they milled around for a few minutes more and then left. There was still a very heavy concentration of pigs in the neighborhood for the next 24 hours. At around 7:00 P.M, or ashort time after, the same number of pigs succeeded in arresting Al- vin Edwards. This time they in- vaded the home of Chris Will- iams and Curtis Lester, friends of Alvin Edwards, at 3939 1Sth mys Ave. South. They also had this _ house under surveillance for sometime before they raidedbe cause Curtis Lester was ar- rested as a second suspect af- ter he came out of the house, got in his car and drove around the corner on the way to the store. They kept Curtis in the pig car around the corner until the attack on his home was over. After they had arrested Curtis, the pigs Stationed themselves all around the house while one rang the doorbell. Chris came to the door and opened it. Without say- ing anything about a search war - rant, the pigs forced their way in with guns drawn. Immediately upon entry they grabbed Chris, handcuffed, and searched him. They ransacked the house for weapons, they found and stole a legally owned shotgun. Chris’s girlfriend, Linda Fletcher, was physically assaulted, Chris Wil- liams and Linda Fletcher were not arrested. When arrested at Chris‘ house, Alvin was searched inside then brought outside und searched again . Ile was hit twice in the head twice in the stomach with « sawed off shotgun. Alvin was not informed of his rights and was subjected to more bru- tality and harassment as the pigs drove him all around town before going to the pig station, trying to make Alvin say he did it. When \lvin arrived at the pig station, he was taken to the Homicide Di- vision and was immediately in- terrogated, : The defense attorney for the Seattle N,C.C.F. arrived shortly thereafter to see Alvin andtoin- vestigate the manner in which he, his family and friends had been treated by th pigs. After the de- fense attorney left,! Alvin was taken upstairs to be booked, Al- and vin Edwards was held for approx- imately another fourteen hours and was released the next day, Friday, at around 1:30 P.M, , af- ter standing in a line up with some othe brothers that were kid- napped and brutalized inthe same manner. Curtis Lester was re- leased the same evening that he was arrested because according to the pigs ‘‘He didn’t fit the des- cription.”” The defense attorney, John Caughlan, is getting together with the Edwards family along with the other Black people that were sub- jected tothe brutality andharas- sment by the pigs to file several suits against the city and State for false arrest andgeneralhar- assment of the Edwards family for the last two years. Mrs, [:d- wards has two sons in jailnowat this writing, a third was justre= leased after serving « lengthy sentence, and Alvin wiio is the youngest has been continuously harassed for the last ‘two or three years himself. \EL POWER TO THE PEOPLE! N.C,.CiBy Seattle, Washington THE BLACK PANTHER, SATURDAY, MARCH 20, 1971 PAGE 4 BRADLEY GREEN SENTENCED 15 TO 50 YEARS Friday, February 19,1971, Bradley Greene,a member of the Black Panther Party, was sen- tencedto 15 to 50 years on a con- viction for the alleged shooting death of a patrolman, Kennth G. Kaner, a member of the Chi- cago Pig Dept. We, the comrades, of Brad Greene see this sentence as being consistant with all the actions of this fascist oriented regime which controls the Babylonian (Amerikkkan) empire. We have come to recognize that as Re- the volutionaries working for transformation of this re. tionary empire which intercom- munally controls the world ,we are constantly faced with the threat of death, exile, and im- prisonment. lradley Greene's sentence does not alarm us, but rather it is the impetus for our contin- uing struggle against this de- structive reactionary empire of Babylon, This act of repression will only increase the mass re- sistance by the people against the oppressive social structure. According to the laws written for the court which ried Brad, he was innocent. Ilowever, those laws are only on paper and they are no longer the fiber of jus- tice which determines whether a person is guilty or innocent. The determining factor is the rela- tionship that the accused has with the reactionary empire that the courts serve, Bradley Greene was convicted and sentenced be- cause he is a member of the Black Panther Party. The facts concerning the actual trial itself, are at most inci- dental to the actions of the court. It is a matter of court record and public knowledge that Bruce Sharp, acommuaity member, ad- mitted killing Kaner, But the TEN - POINT PROGRAM OF LOMPOC FEDERAL PENITENTIARY BLACK CULTURE WORKSHOP GOALS AND AIMS To reach a higher degree of understanding about our people and to relate to them that we need them and they need us, allfor one, one for all, it can be no-other way, We also believe hard work and dedication to- ward the cause will bring about con- structive developments for our people.

OUR MOTTO; Each One Teach,One Black Culture Workshop U.S. Federal Prison Camp Lompoc, Only the power of the people can free political prisoners Brad Greene Political Prisoner judge and prosecutor knew that regardless of who didthe killing, if a Panther, a Revolutionary could in anyway be construed into the case, then the Panther as an ultimate enemy of the system, must be convicted, Bruce Sharpe confessed to the killing because it could not be disproved, Bruce Sharpe's state- ment which indicated that Krad had no knowledge of the shooting, nor participated in any plans of conspiracy, is a statement which muust be credited by the court as being true, But the judge as part of the oppressors machinery, in being consistent with the law andorder of fascism, stated that he found Bruce Sharpe's testimony hard to believe and therefore proceeded to sentence [jradley Greene. The judge’ s statement was designed to mislead the people. However this futile act by the oppressors’ agents was readily recognized by the people, and the case of Bradley Greene, like many others experienced by the peo- ple, only served to show the con- tinuous oppression and misery suffered by the people. In the process of exhausting all legal channels for the pur- pose of educating the people, a motion for a new trial will be filed, bradley Greene's freedom like countless other political prisoners, is not embodied inthe acts of legality, but rather it can become a reality when the masses of people rise up and understand that Revolution is the only solution for the problem faced in this oppressive society. The power tofree brad Greene and all oppressed people held under control intercommunally by the reactionary fascists rests in the hands of the people. \LL POWER TO THE PEOPLE ATTITUDE REPORT: PROGRAM SKILLFULLY DESIGNED TO EXTORJ.TENNESSEE STATE PRISONERS TIME The penality of losing good time could be very critical for inmates in any penal institution throughout Babylon, Largely it depends on the sentence that’s received from the fascist capi- talist pigs through their courts of so called justice, Here at Tennessee State Prison we, the inmates, face a fascist conspiracy of extortion. A prisoner entering T.S.P, with a ten year sentence, for example, ordinarily is eligible for parole after four years and and one month, After six years and one month, his ten year sentence would be considered completed because of ‘'zood and honor time credits’? and the prisoner would he released, Unsurprisingly, the administra- tion of Nashville Tennessee State Penitentiary has gradually de- veloped a conspiracy to extort the inmates time. The capitalist pigs have skillfully designed what they call an attitude report pro~ gram. Dy giving them the author- ity to write an attitude report at the end of a quarter which is three months, this program gives the rent-a-pigs andfascist pig guards a method of ‘justi- fied’ harassment. The seriousness of this plot isthat it gives prejudiced prison personnel the advantage of harassing prisoners, especially the Blacks, without an investi- gation on behalf of the inmate, to have his good time taken. For example, in our celling units if a yuard says something to an inmate that the inmate doesn't like, he doesn't necessarily have to: say anything back in words (the inmate), but if the guard doesn’t like the expression on his face then at the end of the quarter that guard can write a bad attitude report. The report ‘will be acted upon immediately in the guard's favor. This is a conspiracy to iso- late the political prisoners and prisoners of war already here and incoming to the institution by extending their sentences to the limit. The pigs are hoping to successfully break the spirit of freedom and restore a mental inferiority complex towards op-. pression. This, of course, is a tactic Similar to those used in the days of our forefathers. When the oppressor tortured our peo- ple, beat our people, murdered our peopte, he then expected them to humbly obey with an inferiority complex of being subnormal. The many prisons here in Babylon are no different than slavery, Only the names have been changed from plantation to so called “rehabilitation in- stitutions." To justify indeed, the injustice, prejudice, discrimina~ tion, that has occured with bru- tality and harassment throughout the many black colonies in l}aby- Jon, the system which we live under has to be seized. It'sup to the people to partake ingiving birth to the fulfillment of our basic needs as humans, Inmate Tennessee State Prison “VOICE PRINT’? KEEPS WOMAN IN JAIL FOR 9 MONTHS St. Paul, Minn. (LNS) -- Connie Trimble, 18 year old black wo- man, charged with murdering a policeman, has been sitting in jail for nine months, locked in with the belp of a $50,000 bail. She was 4 community organizer, working with the Inner City Youth League, (ICYL). Last May, the police got a call from «4 Woman Saying she was about to birth and askin, for a ride to the hospital, When they arrived at the ad- dress she gave then, they were met by gunfire and one cop was killed. The only evidence is the tape of the voice of the woman who called up, The police de- partment claims that a ‘‘voice print’ (a new technological ad- rive vance to replace finger print- ing) of the woman's voice mat~ ches one they made later of Connie’s voice. Yet a professor from California who testified for the defense at the hearing that one of his students made a voice print and her voice mat- ched the caller's better In California and New Jersey, voice prints have be ruled inadmissable as evidence. Furthermore, no detailed studies aid voice even n have been made with female voices, which give less extensive and hazier patterns thaa male voices. To get the recording of Connie's voice, the Welfare de- parunent co-operated with the police department by calling Connie into their office saying they needed information to deter- mine her welfare status, A po- liceweman then called in saying she was a welfare statistician and recorded het conversation with Connie.

The brothers, not seeing any rea- son why they had to get off the street, kept on working. Thepig drove away and about 5 minutes later came back around the cor- ner and jumped out his car pull- ing out his .357 magnum, The brothers, seeing this, startedto- ward the office. The pig hollered, “Don’t run, nigger, or I'l shoot.” The brothers got inside the of- fice and told their comrades what was happening. The pig, knowing what he was doing and where he was, called for more pigs andina matter of seconds, 2 pig wagons and about six pig cars came on the scene. The pigs were preparing to vamp, but the people inside the office had slipped outside and be- gan to alert the people of the com~ munity. The people began to come out of their houses and check out the situation. When the pigs saw this, they began to pull back and pretend that they were checking an old house across the street from the office. When they were asked what they were doing, the District Command pig said, ‘We thought someone was breaking into this house here.” We know and they know that no one was trying to break into any house. It was plain to see that the pigs were trying to provoke an in- cident with us, so that they could yamp on the people's office and NOTE: MURDER PEOPLE’S SERVANTS murder the people’s servants.

Black Panther Party Philadelphia Branch The following two persons are purged from and no longer affiliated in any way with the Black Panther Party, The People in the Seattle, Washington area, particularly, should take careful notice of this, as these two persons have and may continue to mis-represent the Black Panther Party to obtain funds for their personal use: Alice Spencer THE BLACK PANTHER, SATURDAY, MARCH 20, 1971 PAGE-6 REVOLUTIONARY SELF-DEFENSE: THE CORRECT METHOD FOR DEALING WITH THE MERCENARY PIG Accused Eugene J, Knox. “We are advocates of the abo- lition of war, we do not want war; but war can only be abolished through war; and in order to get rid of the gun, it is necessary to take up the gun,"" Peter Muise and Dennis Koss are two members of the Boston Police Force whose jobistoliold back the revolutionary tidalwave sweeping across the Black com- munities of North America, Yes- terday, they were just ordinary racist pigs, spreading their bru- tal doctrine of “‘law and order”’ throughout Boston's South end, Today they are wounded pigs, critically wounded pigs, struck down by a heroic pair who acted as righteous people’s warriors. ‘lI that's known is that on Mar.

These people, in a weird process of the mind become over rawed with the superficial strength of the oppressor, cannot see the oppressor’s eventual end, and become his faithful servants. In that choice between. licking the master’s boots or tuking his head, these few choose to lick his boots and gobble up what criimbs might fall their way. In this state of mind, to think in the manner taught by the oppres- Sor, to identify your goals us the Same us the oppressors, it is nec to carr the op- pressor's <ictions over ifto.every- day life. \nd we can see this di mudness going on vreound us everyday, It is the slaye- master mentality that forms the basis of slack Capitalism as ex- pressed by its high priests,Leon Sullivan, LeRoi Jones, Ron Ka- renga, etc. It is the slave-master mentality that causes nigger pigs to murder and brutalize their own people. The highest manifestation of this is pig agent Gene Roberts in New York City, who as Malcolm X’s_ bodyguard actively par- ticipated in Malcolm's assassina- tion. Andhere in oston, this same sickness finds forin in the person of Robert Banks, commonly known as “'Frog’’, 007 in Boston’s cadre of bootlicking lackies and agent provocateurs. Frog’s crimes against the peo- ple probably began much earlier in his life. But since the summer of 1970, he has reached even higher levels of servile treacherous he- havior. During that summer, Frog started working with the People’s Free [lealth Center, organized and opened by the boston Chap- ter of the Black Panther Party on May 3ist.

(An organization of tenants to improve indecent housing. ) As usual, the pig press has begun to flash his picture as front page news, implying his guilt before any actual proof is given and making impossible even the idea of a fair impartial trial. Ina typ- ical move, combining tnreason- ing racist logic with the myth of “justice” in America, pigs Muise and Ross together with their superior pigs and members of the reactionary news media, have constructed a fantastic lie which clouds the true details of the incident. but regardless of these distortions, the reality of the just revolutionary act of March 1, cannot be changed. The pigs’ government spon- sored mercenaries are unfort- unately still alive, fut a wounded pix is better than a healthy pig, and we all know that a dead pig is the best of all, We must un- derstand that pigs Muise and Ross are part of an organized force, paid and sworn to perpet- uate the existing conditions of eapitalistic exploitation andrac- ist domination which form the basis of the American empire. We extend our appreciation to those brothers involved. They have provided, throug an act of revolutionary self -defense, the correct example for dealing with ° all foreign invaders who come, with blood and lust in their eyes into any of the oppressed conymu- nities of the world.

Frog’s next major exploit hap- pened a few months later, In a wild frenzy und for no apparent reason, Frog knocked to the ground a sister who was § months pregnant, and broke the arm of the sister who was ompanying her,- When rothers came to these sisters’ aid Froy immedi- atley went down to pig station 10 and took out warrants for assault and battery.

This was ‘ong -before any- one had dreamed‘ of My Lai. At the opening session of the tribunal it was made quite clear that Vietnam vets were going to rell everything: “*We intend to tell Americayes, we killed and often tortured pris- oners; yes, we destroyed villages and even parts of cities andentire towns cor no discernible purpose; yes, we used weapons and muni- tions andi even gas, banned by international law; yes, we forcibly removed entire populations. “*But we intend to tell more. “We Intend to show chat the war erimes in Vietnam did not start in March 1968, or in the village of Song My or with one Lt.

We were only to count thein as we unloaded them, This was because the prisoners were gagged and bound, both hand and foot, and some of them were thrown off the aircraft aiter we were airborne, “When we unloaded the prison- ers on the grouad. the crew would — taxe their hands and feet and throw them as far as they could and they would land on a rock or the ground. If they broke their necks, that was just part of the game." F When asked how they ¢ stlhave done these things to civilians, one vet answered; ‘ft wasn't like they were humans. They were a zook or a commie and it was OK." Another added; ‘‘We were Ameri- cans; we were tne civilized peo- ple.” Medics testified that wounded Vietnamese wer not taken to American hospitals, and that the medics were issued small bottles of serum alpumia and told, ‘‘This bottle is worth $25, never use it on a gook.”” A former meinber of a psycho- logical warfare unit of the Green Berets cvestified that prisoners or detainees that were brought to his camp were immediately question- ed ‘‘and if they balked ar all, or sounded like they weren’t going to be cooperative,’’ they were placed in a room overnight with a python snake, One yet testified about the de- foliant spray ‘‘agentorange”’ used in South Vietnain which contains foetus--deforming thalidomide. In one province he said he observed 20 deformed babies who had “‘flip- pers’’ for limbs. Airborne vets spoke of barniig villages from the air with napaln, of illegal weapons, and of tae im- personality of an air war waen bombs are dropped by computer One vet stated that fifty per cent of all villages nis company passed through were burned ‘ft depended on if we hadenough time Civilians weuld dry vexetables in front of their hootches (houses), These were scattered or urinated on by the sotdiz’s, We owned the village while we were ihere, In my outfit, everything was a free fire zone,"* Anotner vet; ‘In six months we never took a prisoner, We never got an order to do so, We just opened fire.”’ “The kids would love crackers and peaaut butter that we gave them. Inside the peanut butter was a trioxylene heat tab, This burned the insides of their mouths and throats."’ When asked why they hadpartic= ipated in torture, the vets answer - ed that it was standard practice; that they had been taught by the military to think of the Vietnamese as non-persons; that they were just sick at the time; that they weuld be killed for disobeying; that after killing a lot of people torturing them didn’t seem like much; or that they just didn’t know the answer, Coveriug up of information was considered by the veterans to be an impoyta:i part of the war policy.

Later that same year, our Chief of Staff was acquitted of charges stemming from the same incident - two counts of attempted murder on pigs and two counts of assault, Since that time the District Attorney has appealed the acquittal decision and Has been granted a re-trial, On Monday David went to court to be illegally tried for the exact same charges he was ac- tor us by educating the people as to the nature of the malicious conspiracy be- ing plotted against us, Once the people began expressing Concern and letting it be known that they wholeheartedly are with us by attending our pre-trial hear- ings in Salinas, the reactionaries very well knew that the eyes of the people are upon them, Since the majority of the mess media is controlled by the “‘power elite’ and give preference to whatever issues they so desire and most of the time supporting the interests of gov- ernment objectives, it is necessary for progressive, and revolutionary papers such as the Black Panther Paper to pro- mote the true nature of the malicious conspiracies being waged against Comrades like Bobby Seale and many poor people who are facing similar trumped-up charges, The contradic- tions of America’s faltering judicial system must be unveiled to all the peo- ple, It is the people, public opinion, that forces the ‘‘Power Elite con- trolled media’’ to carry objective ar- ticles and news coverage of the many political trials now pending across the country. The reactionary prison officials within the California penal system have for vears been slaying inmates such as the ‘‘January 13, 1970 Massacre’’ when 3 Blacks died in a hail of bullets fired by a blood thirsty pig. However, the reactionary prison officials in Sacra- mento are reviewing their past policy of letting ultra-right wing paramilia- taristic guards carry out executions of political prisoners because they know the eyes of the people are upon them, They realize the growing political consciousness of the people and how people are beginning to see the politi- cal motive behind their acts, Kwame Nkrumah says: ‘“‘there is no force, however formidable,that a united peo- ple cannot overcome, .,’’The outcome of the Bobby Seale trial depends entirely upon the support the people give tosee’ that ifthere is one ounce of justice left in the United States’ judicial sys- tem, he shall receive that justice and be acquitted, We must prevent the reac- tionary forces from using aconviction against Bobby Seale as a political vic- tory and rallying point for the reaction- ary forces across the country, Surely, they would use such a conviction as a precedent, a mere criteria, for future political cases, Let us pay heed to the handwriting on the wall!

ALL POWER TO THE=PBOPLE] A REPORT FROM CAIRO, ILLINOIS The beginning of the Black peo- ple of Cairo’s current struggle was March 31, 1969, when the White vigilantes of Cairo shot in- to the all-Black housing project for over two and one half hours, This was not the first time Whites had done such violence on Blacks, It marked a new age, however, in that Black people stood up to the racists and refused to give into these actions which were meant to keep the Black man ‘in his place.”” Shortly after the shoot-out the Black citizens began an economic Boycott against their White op- pressors, They said: ‘‘White hats must go or Black Folks willkeep their dough,’’The White hats did not go--they are still here and actively involved in violence against Blacks.White hats did not go--but store after store of the White merchants has had to go, and others are still going as the strength and determination of the Black people grows and grows.

UP POLICE ATTACK Since the formation of the Black Panther Party in 1966, we have stood firm in our position that only through revolutionary self-defense will it be possible for Black and other beseiged communities of the world to halt the procession of terror, brutal- ity andmurder perpetrated by the fascist government of North America, We take note that inci- dents like MyLai in Vietnam, Sharpville in South Africa, Kent State and Jackson State here in America, along with countless incidents of harassment and murder against members of the Black Panther Party (The mur- ders of Fred Hampton and Mark Clark in Chicago, Bobby Hutton in Oakland, A five hour attack in Los Angeles, a charge that the fascist government of North America is guilty of genocide on a world- wide level and that through the news media (radio; television, newspapers) it has spread the foul doctrine of cap- italism and White racist super- iority around the globe, plunging the entire earth into the dark ages of reactionary intercommunal- ism. Fo 3 In particular, the Boston Chap- ter of the Black Panther Party, condemns with the full force ofa righteous people’s vengeance, a series of articles that have ap- peared in the right-wing react- ionary Boston ‘‘Record Ameri-~_ can” written by a trio of racist pig news reporters in collusion with the Boston pig Department. This series of articles began af= ter the joyous news broke that two pigs were critically wounded, shot by unknown brothers in the South End, Printed in bold type was the heading ‘Militants stockpiling guns. ’’ The articles consisted of incidents of Pan- thers , alleged Panthers, or Pan- ther supporters carrying out their constitutional rights, in- cluding legally buying guns. The obvious intent of the ar- ticle is not to point out loopholes in the gun control law, but rather to sway public sentiment and lay the foundation for a pig search and destroy mission against our information center in Roxbury, Already the ground work has been set. On January 5, the Bos- ton Chapter issued a press state- ment concerning an attempted pig attack against us. This trialrun, which occurred at 4 inthemorn*+ ing, came as no surprise to-us when we realize the fanatic level of racism here in Boston, which condones such pig attacks, But let it be known, that we, the members of the Boston Chap- ter of the Black Panther Party, reject these foul threats of death by the ‘‘Record American’’ and we call upon all community groups and organizations to join us ina total united condemnation | of these smear tactics. And above all, we call, upon the people, all people wherever one hears the whip..and lash of oppression, to join with us in the total destruc- tion of our common enemies and their lackies in the news media and elsewhere, , ; ALL POWER TO THE PEOPLE] DEATH TO THE FASCIST PIGS! Boston Chapter Black Panther Party 23 Winthrop Street Roxbury, Mass, THE BLACK PANTHER, SATURDAY, MARCH 20, 1971 PAGE 14 DECLARATION OF THE EXECUTIVE SECRETARIAT OF OSPAAL “URGANIZATION OF SOLIDARITY OF. THE PEOPLES OF AISA, ASIA, AND LATIN AMERICA) ON THE OCCASION OF THE DETENHION OF A PILOT-OF THE DEMOCRATIC PEOPLES REPUBLIC OF KOREA BY THE SOUTH KOREAN PUPPET CLIQUE On the 3rd of December last year, an airplane of the Korean People’s Army engaged in high altitude flying practice, lost its direction in thick clouds and after flying around until, ..1) it ran out of fuel, had to make a forc- ed landing on the sands near Gan- sung, 20 Km. south of the Military Demarcation Line. Although almost three months have passed, the Yankee imperialists and the Pak Jung Hi puppet clique have not only refused to turn over the pilot and his plane to the KPA, but continue to yvesort obstinately to wicked maneuvers to detain him by force. As soon as the airman made his forced landing, the Pak Jung Hi puppet clique - as has been exposed - re- leased the fabricated story describing the case as one of ‘‘surrender’’ and said they would soon make clear the “details of his submission,’’ But even though their attempts to force the Korean People’s Army pilot to submit have failed,since they have not presented the so-called ‘details of submission’, the U.S. imperialists and the Pak Jung Hi puppet clique continue their mean maneuvers to hold the pilot, currently using. the pretext of an ‘‘investigation,’’ aimed at achiev- ing their dirty purpose by all means, No investigation is needed, since it zis a case of the forced landing of a KPA plane during high altitude flying practice, as they themselves have admitted, Therefore the problem can only be solved byturning over the pilot and his plane. But the Yankee imperialists are now denying that the KPA pilot made a forced landing, a fact they themselves had previously admitted, and are in- sisting they must make an investiga- tion. They are now trying to delay the solution to the current problem citing the cases of the ‘‘Pueblo’’, the armed spy ship of the Yankee imperialists; the ‘‘H-23’' helicopter, the ‘‘I - 2” \ Zi oa ‘~e. Comrade Kim IL Sung, and poster declaring : “Tf the U.S. imperialists provoke another aggressive war they will get nothing but corpses and death !’’ spy ship and the ‘‘YS-ll’’ passenger plane -- all of which were solved long ago. As is known throughout the world, all the passengers aboard the ‘‘YS-Il’’ plane returned to their homes as they desired, except for the airmenand some of the passengers who wished to live in the north of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea because they opposed the Yankee imperialist policy of colon- ial enslavement and the military fascist rule of terror of the Pak Jung Hi puppet clique. It is a foolish delusion for the Yankee imperialists to think they can accomplish anything by using as ‘‘bait’’ the case of the ‘‘YS--Ill’’ passenger plane which. is not under the authority of the Korean Military Armistice Commission and has nothing to do with the problem ofa KPA pilot who made a forced landing in the southern part of Korea. The Yankee imperialists, moreover, hypocritically allege that the case of the Korean People’s Army pilot should be solved according to ‘‘the dignity of man’? and ‘‘freedom of choice’’ in a wicked effort to cover up their crimin- al maneuvers to detain the pilot by forced and mislead world public opin- ton. The requirements ofthe Korean Aym- istice Agreement and the precedent cases, oblige Yankee imperialists to immediately send back the pilot of the Korean People’s Army who made a orced landing in the southern part of Korea. All facts show clearly that it is un- reasonable for the Yankee imperialists to delay the immediate return of the Korean People’s Army pilot; nor can they in any way justify their criminal maneuvers to detain him by force. The Executive Secretariat of OSPAAAL, in the name of all the pro- gressive and revolutionary peoples of Africa, Asia and Latin America, sternly condemns the wicked maneuvers of the Yankee imperialists and the Pak Jung Hi puppet clique to detain the Korean People’s Army pilot forced to land in the southern part of Korea, The Executive Secretariat of OSPAAAL strongly holds that the Yankee imperialists must . immediately halt theiy imprudent maneuvers, to hold the KPA pilot in conspiracy with the Pak Jung Hi puppet clique, and must release and return him and his plane to the Korean People’s Army. without further delay. EXECUTIVE SECRETARIAT OF OSPAAAL The Revolutionary Intercommunal Day of Solidarity with political pris- oners in the U,S,, called by the Black Panther Party, became a huge success in| Denmark, On March 5th, six to seven thousand people demonstrated in front of the American embassy in Copenhagen, the capital of Denmark, The reason for this success is to be found in the political work that, for especially the last two years, has been done here with regard to the Black Panther Party, In March, 1969, Bobby Seale visited Denmark; and since that time, the Danish people have shown great interest in the black liberation struggle, in particular the work of the Black PantherParty, The Danish press, has, in general, been fair ‘in its reports about the Black Panther Party, It has been the politics and not just the image that has been pro- jected, Hundreds of meetings at schools, colleges and public places have been held by members of the Black Panther Solidarity Committee (which was created by Bobby Seale), 7,00) PEOPLE DEMONSTRATING Radio programs, newspaper articles and even television programs have been made by people in very close con- tact with the Black Panther Party. Recently, the informative work a- round the issue of the Black Panther Party has been extended to include all of the U.S, Left, and the Black Panther Party Solidarity Committee (B.P.P.S.C.) today places much em- phasis upon talking about the oppres- sive conditions in the U,S,A, in gen- eral, Since Chairman Bobby Seale was jailed, he has been the focus of most activity, And there is a general under- standing that he is Political Prisoner Number One in the U.S.A, The political purpose for the Soli- darity Committee’s work has been to make the Danish people realize the oppressive conditions in our great “Big Brother’s’’ backyard; to show the effects of capitalism in full blos- som; and to create solidarity with and understanding for the Black Libera- tions struggle, In this way is a very important contribution made to make THE BLACK PANTHER, SATURDAY, MARCH 20, 1971 PAGE 15 THE REVOLUTIONARY INTERCOMMUNAL DAY OF SOLIDARITY IN DENMARK INTERCOMMUNAL DAY OF SOLIDARITY IN the Danish people understand the nature of imperialism, The U.S.A, is a threat also to our lives, The solidarity work has begun getting a lot of very concrete results, The Danish High School Union announced last year that Chairman Bobby Seale was their choice for the ‘‘Freedom Prize of 1970’’, This significant en- gagement on behalf of Danish High “School students has created a lot of debate and understanding for Bobby’s case, In early January, this year, an ad- vertisemé |f was pudlished .n one of our biggest daily newspapers, It was a statement signed by 175 ‘‘prominent’’ Danes, The statement voiced strong concern for the developments inside the U.S, and compared the situation to Germany in the thirties, Equally strong concern was voiced for the support of U.S, to ‘‘fascist and re- actionary forces all over the world!’’ The statement was an appeal to the American people to rise up and re- sist, The most important task now is to free Bobby Seale, because his case is ‘‘symbolic for the persecution of the Left.’” Among the ones who signed the state- ment were the former Prime Minister Viggo Kampmann (Social Democrat), 15 members of Parliament - represent- ing four political parties, Student lead- ers, labor union leaders, professors, priests, artists and many more pro- fessionals were among the ones who supported and paid for the statement, The statement is now being signed all over Denmark as an open letter to the American people, Everyone COPENHAGEN, DENMARK, signing has got to pay acertain amount as an investment in Bobby’s political defense in Europe and in the U.S.A, So far thousands have signed, For the demonstration on March 5th a broad united front was brought to- gether, Twenty-four Danish political organizations supported the call for the demonstration, To the right were the youth organizations of one of the bourgeoisie government parties; to the far left was a so-called Maoist group; Communist Youth, Marxist-Leninist, Included in the front were the paci- fist War Resisters League, the youth organization of the Social Democratic Party, three Parliament - represented political parties, the anti-imperialist Vietnam committees, women’s organi- zations, the Korean-Danish Friendship union, the Black Panther Solidarity Committee, The very wide base of the front did not reflect a weak politcal base for the unity, The call for demonstration was strongly anti-imperialist, To begin with, the seriousness of the situation in South East Asia was stared, This is not an isolated affair but a result of imperialism, ‘‘The U.S.A, must be forced into stopping its exploitation and war politics. The.American Left wing opposition can hit where the war machine is weakest,’’ The war policies outside the U,S, were then, linkedsto the terror policies inside the U.S, The kangeroo court in New Haven against Bobby end Ericka must be looked, upon as a test case for the ability of, the U.S, Left to resist repression, ‘‘F ree Bobby Seale means much more than continued on next page THE BLACK PANTHER, SATURDAY, MARCH 20, 1971 PAGE 16 western union Ee 1052A PsT (HAR 4 73, CA H er MWR $3 z USTIFIED 17 ISA SINISTER MACHINATION OF NIXONITES TO BAN ACTIVITIES OF BPP DESTROY AND DISSOLVE Its ORGANI ZATION AND STAMP OUT WHOLE STRUGGLE OF BLACK PEOPLE IN AMERICA US IMPERIALISM SHOULD DESIST AT ONCE FROM FARCTAL TRIALS OF CHAIRMAN BOBBY SEAL AND SROE PALEY ARRESTED AND IMPRISONED MEMBERS OF YOUR PARTY AND RELEASE THEM UNCONDITIONALLY US IMPERIALISM IS COMMON ENEMY NUMBER ONE OF ALL PROGRESSIVE PEOPLE OF WORLD —— SOLIDARITY MESSAGE FROM THE DEMOCRATIC| PEOPLE'S REPUBLIC OF KOREA Telegram _ IN SOUTH KOREA US IMPERIALISTS CARRY OUT “FASCIST Saliieaaale 2 TERROR RULE BARBAROUSLY KILL OUR COMPATRIOTS RIGHT AND LEFT AND BRING PENURY AND STARVATION TO SOUTH KOREAN PEOPLE BUT THE MORE US IMPERIALISTS INTENSIFY FASCI ST SUPPRESSION IN SOUTH KOREA THE GREATER DISCONTENT AND RESISTANCE OF SOUTH KOREAN PEOPLE THEY WILL ENCOUNTER WE ACTIVELY SUPPORT AND EXPRESS FIRM SOLIDARITY WITH BPP IN ITS STRUGGLE AGAINST FASCIST RAPIAL- SUPPRESSION BY US IMPERIALISTS AND FOR FREEDOM AND LI BERATION COMMITTEE FOR THE PEACEFUL UNIFICATION OF THE FATHERLAND KOREAN DEMOCRATIC.

The spirits were high when between 50 and 100 persons at 4:00 pm, Fri- day, started a vigil in front of the U.S. embassy. Everybody had a sign around his neck with the name of a political prisoner, It was good with the high spirits, because it was ex- tremely cold, By the time the rally started at 7:00 pm, it was about 10 centigrades minus (Incentigrades zero is the freezing point for water; this was ten below zero,), The cold, of course, limited the number of partici- pants, somewhat, However, six to seven thousand people demonstrated infront of the embassy, The out-pouring of people, despite the cold, must be taken as a clear sign of how worried the Danes are because of the apparent lack of support inthe U.S, forF REE BOBBY, The demonstration was a strong out- cry for you to WAKE UP! Speakers at the demonstration were: Ho Thanh Vanh, leader of the Pro- visional Revolutionary Government of South Vietnam Information office, here in Copenhagen, On behalf of the Viet- namese Newspaper editor, he spoke about the fascist tendencies in the U.S.A. and said that all of the U.S, Left in fact are political prisoners, He attacked the Danish government for having the same attitude as in the thirties, namely silently and approv- ingly looking upon fascist repression, Herbert Washington, a black revolu- tionary deserter, spoke about Bobby Seale. He called the demonstration a major achievement for the Black Lib- eration struggle, After the demonstration, sixhundred people spread information material out to the worker communities in order to counter the pig media. 30,000 pam- phlets about the Black Panther Party and the relationship between our strug- gle in Denmark and the struggle of black people in the U.S. are waging, Demonstrations were, also held in Germany at the military\bases there, About 3,000 demonstrated, There was also a:deomonstration held in Stock- holm, Sweden,, It is reported that demonstrations were also held in Italy and France and Belgium, ALL POWER TO THE PEOPLE Black Panther =»Party .

We want freedom. We want power to determine the destiny of our Black Community. We believe that black peop!e will not be free until we are able to deter- mine our destiny 2. We want full employ ment for our people. We believe that the federal government is responsible and obligated to give every man employment or a guaranteed income. We believe that if the white American businessmen will not give full employment. then the means of production should be taken from the businessmen and placed in the community so that the people of the community can organize and em- ploy all of its people and give a high standard of living 3. We want an end to the robbery by the CAPITALIST of our Black Community We beheve that this racist government has robbed us and now we are demanding the overdue debt of: forty acres and two mules Forty acres j and two mules was promised 100 vears ago as restitution for slave labor and mass murder of black people: We will accept the payment in-cut reney Which will be distributed to our many communities. The Germans are now aiding the Jews in Israel for the genocide of the Jewish people. The Ger- mans murdered six million Jews. The American racist has taken part in the slaughter of over fifty millon black people: therefore, we feel that this is a modest demand that we make 4. We want decent housing. fit for shelter of human beings. We believe that if the white landlords will not give decent housing to our black community. then the housing and the land should be made inte cooperatives so that our community, with government aid. can build and make decent housing for its people 4 5. We want education for our people that exposes the true nature of this decadent American society. We want education that teaches us our true history and our role in the present-day society. We believe in an educational system that will give to our people a knowl- edge of self. If a man does not have knowledge of himself and his position in society and the world, then he has little chance to relate to anything else 6. We want all black men to be exempt from military service. We believe that Black people, should not be forced to fight in the mifi- tary service to defend a racist government that does not protect us. We will not fight and kill other people of color in the world who, like black people, are being victimized by the white racist government of America. _ We will protect ourselves from the force and violence of the racist police and the racist military. by whatever means necessary. 7. We want an immediate end to POLICE BRUTALITY and MURDER of black people. SURVIVAL PENDING REVOLUTION All Power to the People What We Believe We believe we can end police brutality in our black community by or- ganizing bjack self-defense groups that are dedicated to defending our black community from racist police oppression and brutality. The Second Amendment to the Const’ :t.un of the United States gives a right to bear arms. We thetefore beueve that all black people should arm themselves for self-defense 8. We want freedom for all black men held in federal. state, county and cits prisons and jails. We believe that all biack people should be released from the many jails and prisons because thoy have not received a fair and impartial tria! 9. We want all black people when brought to trial to be tried in court by a jury of their peer group or people from their black communities. as defined by the Constitution of the United States. We beileve that the courts should follow the United States Constitution so that black people will receive fair trials. The 14th Amendment of the US, Constitution gives a man‘a right to be tried by his peer group. A peer | tS,4/ person from a similar economic. social, religious. geographical. en- 1 vironmental. historical and racial background. To do this the court will be forced to select a jury from the black community from which the black defendant came. We have been, and are being tried by all-white juries that have no understanding of the “average reasoning rian" of the black community 10. We want land, bread, housingwedu ui And as our major political objective, a United Nations-supervised plebis- cite to be held throughout the black colony in which only black colonial subjects will be allowed to participate, for the purpose of determining the will of black people as to their national destiny. When. in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another. and to assume, among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the laws of nature and natur@’s God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation We hold these truths to be self-evident. that all men are created equal; that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights; that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. That, to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed; that, whenever any form of government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or to abolish it. and to institute a new government, laying its foundation on such prineiples. and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their safety and happiness. Pru- dence. indeed. will dictate that governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and. accordingly, all experience hath shown. that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable. than lo right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed But. when a long train of abuses and Usurpations, pur- suing invariably the same object, evinces a design to reduce them under ab- solute despotism. it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such govern- ment, and to provide new guards for their future security. a, THE BLACK PANTHER, SATURDAY, MARCH 20, 1971 PAGE 19. _ REVOLUTIONARY YOUTH FESTIVAL Bing | Been MARCH 27,1971 11A.M.—6P.M. ae a BOBBY HUTTON MEMORIAL PARK Sr SOS SE oc (16th & Adeiins Oakland) IF E F Speakers: te & ; R HUEY P.NEWTON =, es #* FOOD MINISTER OF DEFENSE OF THE 3S Ra BLACK PANTHER PARTY AND SUPREME SERVANT OF THE PEOPLE FOR THE CHILDREN MASAI HEWITT si MINISTER OF EDUCATION OF 5:23: ng AMES THE BLACK PANTHER PARTY SoS ec <a Revolutionary Singing Group % Fl LMS = earn mont SPEAR?
